Denmark28 participantsStarted 2019-01-04

Plain-language summary

To minimize fracture risk, diverse and varied training of high intensity (multimodal training) is recommended to increase bone strength. However, the effectiveness of different training programmes performed in community settings remain uncertain. The present study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and the effectiveness of 19-week of multimodal training in a local community center in Copenhagen, Denmark. The health promotion initiative had special emphasis on musculoskeletal health in postmenopausal women.
